Life and career

Maidment was born in Monkwearmouth, County Durham. He began his football career with Robert Thompson's works team before moving south to join Football League Third Division South club Southend United in 1923.[2] After one season, during which he played infrequently, he moved on to Newport County.[4] Over the next six years, he played 219 League matches and, unusually for a goalkeeper, scored three goals, all from the penalty spot.[2] He then spent the 1930–31 Football League season with Lincoln City as their regular goalkeeper, playing alongside his younger brother Tom as Lincoln finished as runners-up in the Third Division North.[1][5] He spent two seasons in the Second Division with Notts County before finishing his career back in the third tier with Accrington Stanley.[2]

Maidment played alongside his uncle, Billy Charlton, for Newport County.[3]
